In the corporate world, top business executive positions were mostly held by men. But with the changing of the times, we’re now seeing women replace men in these executive positions. If you look at the executive board of many big name companies, you’ll find that a majority of the women fill the spots. One woman who helped paved the way for women to become executives is Susan McGalla.

McGalla’s venture into the business world began in Ohio, where she attended Mount Union College. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in business and marketing, Susan embarked on her career into the business world. Her first job was working at Joseph Horne Company. During her eight years at the company, she worked in numerous managerial positions before being promoted to marketing.

Following her departure from Joseph Horne, Susan went to work for American Eagle Outfitters, where she found most of her success. When she first started at American Eagle, she worked as a merchandise buyer, but with hard work and perseverance eventually was promoted to the company’s President and Chief Merchandising Officer. Thanks to McGalla’s smart business tactics, the company saw an increase in revenue as they reached the billion dollar mark.

After fifteen years with the company, Susan decided to leave to pursue work with other companies. She worked briefly for the companies HFF Inc and Wet Seal Inc. She’s now currently working as the Vice President of Business Strategy and Creative Development for the NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aside from her work with the football team, McGalla has also started her own financial firm called P3 Executive Consulting.

When she’s not working at the office, McGalla devotes her time her family and donating to numerous charities. She and her husband Steve are heavily involved in charities with the local Pittsburgh hospitals.

Social Security is a rapidly-changing situation for retirees and people expected to retire in the future. David Giertz is a financial advisor whom is interested in how social security will impact the clients of many potential future retirees. Evidence suggests that advisors are not talking to clients about social security, and 4/10 people would change advisors if their advisor doesn’t talk about social security.

Social security makes up a large chunk of a person’s retirement income – approximately 40% of a client’s retirement. A financial advisor needs to think about how social security comes into play with regard to their client’s retirement income. This is because a social security check is often one of the main sources of retirement income that a retiree has.

David Giertz has been with Nationwide Investment Services Corporation for approximately 31 years. He is based out of Columbus, Ohio. He recognizes that generations in the past have been able to retire on pension funds, but these pension funds are rapidly disappearing. This makes it very important for retirees to create a retirement income plan which is focused on maximizing social security benefits.

Approximately 30% of retirees are getting less money each month from social security than they expect. The majority of retirees in the future did not identify factors that are used to determine social security benefits. Many people think that they should start taking social security benefits at age 62, but the reality is that financial advisors advise that retirees wait until an older age. Full retirement age is often not until 65-67, and waiting longer means that a retiree will get a bigger check.

For many people, they can expect to see that their social security benefits will grow over time if they wait until a later retirement age. They can expect that their social security earnings will be taxed, which is something that may come as a surprise to older adults.
